Mike (Bloomberg) Kills 'Sensitive 9/11 Probe'

March 18, 2007 -- Mayor Bloomberg killed a study on the city's response to the 9/11 attacks after his lawyers said they did not want a report that cited any missteps or dealt with "environmental" or "respirator issues," says a former city official.

City lawyers raised fears that the proposed "after-action report" - which the U.S. Department of Justice had offered to fund - could lead to criticism and fuel lawsuits, David Longshore, former director of special programs for the city's Office of Emergency Management, told The Post.

I reposted this, because why not eliminate the middle man?

1. Bloomberg while hoping to be president is rubbing shoulders with Christine Todd Whitman

Here in NJ I'm sure we're also going to have problems, eventually ---
effects on citizens ---

Cancers? as we've seen in some of the rescue workers?

Certainly it reached us --
tell a doctor you're having nasal problems since 9/11 and the reply will be ...
"you and everyone else in NJ" --

3. Ground zero, a lingering environmental disaster?

scary to think what the lingering health effects might be on the people in NY and surrounding area. I would hate to live anywhere within a 100-mile radius. Who knows, maybe more. I wonder if anyone (preferably an independent) has bothered to perform an environmental impact study, or is the subject politically off-limits?
